From USA Today Bestselling Author Kennedy Layne comes the fourth pulse-pounding installment in the Kinsley Aspen series, where friendship is the most dangerous disguise of all…
The morning after a bachelor weekend at a charming bed-and-breakfast in the North Dakota countryside, the best man is found dead. Stabbed in his room while four other men slept just down the hall. No sign of forced entry. No sign of anyone coming or going during the night. Which means the killer was already inside.
Detective Kinsley Aspen and her partner arrive to find a groom-to-be in shock and three groomsmen whose stories don't quite match. Each man has an alibi tangled in the others' accounts, and as Kinsley picks apart the details, the cracks begin to show. A brotherhood that was never as solid as it seemed. A long-buried affair that resurfaced at the worst possible moment. And a betrayal so deep that someone decided it could never see the light of day.
As the men turn on one another, Kinsley is pulled into a complicated history of jealousy, loyalty, and lies that stretches back years. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more she recognizes the desperate lengths people will go to protect a secret, because she's been doing the same thing for three years. And the walls she's built around her own dark truth are beginning to crumble.
Everyone under that roof had a reason to want the best man silenced. But only one of them stood by as he took his last breath, and he's still playing the part of a grieving friend.
